What are the facts about recreational marijuana? Are you sure pot is harmless? And should it be legal?
While the multi-billion dollar marijuana lobby insists that cannabis is harmless, more and more researchers and medical professionals are reaching a different conclusion.
Based on facts and up-to-date science, this post will help you cut through the fog of misinformation and discover what recreational marijuana is doing to disrupt and destroy the moral and social fabric of America.
Marijuana is a form of intoxication. Anyone who becomes intoxicated surrenders their ability to make sound moral decisions. Free will is either compromised or lost for a period of time.
However, people see this intoxication as a means to escape from reality. Pop culture worships immediate pleasure so much that it prods us to give up our most noble faculty -- reason -- in exchange for a mind-numbing "experience." Some people even risk their lives for a fleeting sensation of pleasure or excitement.
Drug abuse holds sectors of America hostage. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 192 families per day lost someone to a drug overdose in 2017.[1] That’s the same as a plane crash a day in the U.S.
I saw it on twitter. Might be a fake out troll job story. Stay tuned I guess.
You claimed a causal relationship between mj and schizophrenia and said it is a big contributor. If that were so, then the US and the Netherlands should rank high and Singapore should rank low. That casts doubt on your claim, so it’s up to you to explain
Check it out:
Absolutely the same experience. Every frequent user I know is demented in somehow similar way. There are also studies linking it to depersonalization and derealization syndromes.
Treat weed like other Adult Only products. State control, sin taxes etc . . .
The call to arms is, Give up your Makers Mark, we’ll give up our Sinsemilla!
But DON’T prohibit personal production for personal use.
The ban against distilling causes lots of problems. Carter signed law for home beer brewing.
Now it’s time to Free the Shine!
And have Home Depot sell Grow Kits for Mary Jane.
I personally know several lawyers and court judges who smoke pot regularly.
I never have, but most people my age consider it harmless.
My boomer parents have never smoked pot, which is quite a needle to thread, among boomers.
If we had a family motto it might be “Keep your wits about you and don’t break laws.”
“I dont hold much for moral advice from blog pimps”
Especially ones who can’t even spell their screen name.
I kind of hope so. If so, should get a reward going for the first one who breaks his knees.
What a worthless piece of crap. But, thats old Pete Carol. He loves that type of player.
Yeah, I noticed that. He was in a rush to get the account set up and make his first post ... five years later.
I hope it is a fake also. It would be a shame to have this jerk on the same team as Russell Wilson. Russell gives a incredible amount of his free time to Seattle’s Childrens Hospital. The kids and staff there absolutely love him. He is quite a man. Then there is Kraper-Dick......
I personally know several lawyers and court judges who smoke pot regularly.
Here in Seattle I know more than several lawyers and small business owners who smoke regularly. Maybe not the lawyers, but the small business owners - boomers - have created businesses and provide employment for people ranging from the smallest business to those who employ hundreds.
They were smoking regularly for the last 40 years or so and creating jobs at the same time.
I call BS - exactly who says so and in exactly what words?
Marijuana is a form of intoxication.
So is alcohol ... I guess it also should be illegal.
Fourth result from your first link says:
‘the study doesn’t prove causality, cautions Dr. Diana Martinez, a psychiatrist and addiction researcher at Columbia University. “You can’t say that cannabis causes psychosis,” she says. “It’s simply not supported by the data,” she says.
‘Lisdahl agrees. In order to show causality, one would have to follow people over time — before they started using weed to years later when they have their psychotic episodes, she says. “You need twins in the studies, you need genetic information,” among all other kinds of data, she says.’
So sad for you.
“A bosting pot?”
I learned a new word!
Idiots he say crap like this are complete morons
Gee moron ! how did prohibition work out?
Let’s see. The mafia , poisoning people all kinds of illegal activity
but I really worked out great didn’t it
We got the Desilu production of The Untouchables.
Then you'd be sober, smelling like crap, and still on our way to suffering horribly with lung cancer and/or COPD.
“Care to try that again?”
Oops! I apparently I suffered some dainbramage.
depersonalization and derealization syndromes
Makes you retarded and gay?
